Heres an idea, get the right socket. Problem solved.

If it's a 14mm 12pt then those are ARP head studs. Just go to your local hardware/parts store and get the 12 pt socket. Hell, if you're close by I'll loan you mine (provided it get's returned cause I use it quite a bit.) The ARP's are a helluva lot better than the OEM 10mm allen head bolts though. I'd try to pull them and reuse them if they"re in spec (probably are).
